Wonder how a Con/Lib coalition will work. Or not. Hope that NI's public spending doesn't suffer too badly. Most interesting things in NI were Belfast East (goodbye, Robinson) and Fermanagh South Tyrone (Four votes. Four!)
The public sector is NI's biggest employer at something like 65%, so a cut in public spending would hit them harder than anywhere else. (From my point of view, the NI economy seems to consist solely of public sector, small rural businesses, inter/national retail and banking chains, and software shops mostly doing offshore work for American firms.
